That’s the only thing that is going to fix this.
Waving around threats to break companies up or regulate them as “utilities” because we were too lazy to keep tech options diverse years ago, and too stupid to not worship these bastards when they were rising up (looking at you FR Apple fanboys), is not going to happen. It isnt legal, constitutional, and it will come back to bite us in the ass.
Will it take money? Yes. Will it take people putting in sometime with no pay and not expecting a big cash payoff for a long time? Yup.
But 14 years ago the internet was awash in options, and it was BETTER OFF, so now we are going to have to start the long walk now.
Letting them control speech is what is going to come back and bite us in the @$$.
At this point I don't give a sh*t about "constitutional" arguments. This is a real threat, and if you think it's going to go away by some magic coders working in a garage somewhere, you are foolish.
The framers of the constitution never envisioned this, and if they had, I dare say they wouldn't have tolerated it.

It won't take them that much time to rig the elections by censoring all opposition. Once they get control of the government, then they will make their "hate speech" excuse enforced on all of us by law.
